Amorphous Solid Model of Vectorial Hopfield Neural Networks

arXiv — cs.LGWednesday, December 10, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A new three-dimensional vectorial extension of the Hopfield associative-memory model has been introduced, where each neuron is represented as a unit vector on the sphere S^2. This model employs synaptic couplings organized in 3x3 blocks through a vectorial Hebbian rule, resulting in a block-structured operator similar to the Hessian of amorphous solids, which creates a rigid energy landscape with deep minima for stored patterns.
  • This development signifies a substantial advancement over the classical binary Hopfield model, as simulations indicate improved performance, particularly in high-connectivity regimes. The findings suggest that the critical storage ratio increases with coordination number, potentially enhancing the efficiency of neural networks in various applications.
